Pretty much. Uitzicht (Uit-zicht) means Out-Sight directly, referring to what you can see or have in sight. Uitzicht-los is Out-Sight-Less, having nothing un sight -- ie in context of diseases "With no chance of improvement within sight".

With high likelyhood our dutch government will fall today, over a terrible debacle where our tax services labelled innocent people as fraudulent and took 10s of thousands of euros from them. As a result, people lost their jobs, their homes, they got divorced, their children were taken away by CPS... Quite a few of them committed suicide even. (it took 10 years for our government to admit wrongdoing, most of those people have been in misery for 10 years. They still have not been reimbursed, not that that is possible for those who lost loved ones, children, or their life)

Alternatively:

Strongdogg -- Colonialism was wrong, the benefits and profits of each land's natural resources should go to the people of that land
Weakdogg -- Why are you upset all profits from your fish go to France?

Ahhhh hah.

I prefer Scriver's.

EU: so long, and thanks for all the fish

The Royal Navy's probably also a bad example to bring up, given that the Royal Navy is actually sailing in the South China Seas whilst the EU is afraid of China. Looks like the Lib Dems were wrong; you don't have to be in the EU to oppose China, you just have to oppose China to oppose China.

Our government did fall btw, past friday. We now have a demissionary government that is not allowed to make decisions without parliament approval.  We will not have early election, because they are already planned for march anyways.


EDIT: our now demissionary government decided (or rather followed the advice of our outbreak management team) to keep all schools and day-care centers closed for longer. The plan was to re-open them on january 25th, now they will remain closed until at least february 8th.

To try and relieve some stress for those parents who have been trying to work from home while taking care of their litters, the government is exploring the option of giving parents who work from home some days or weeks of paid leave, so they can regain some energy and focus on looking after their kids. How exactly the companies they work for are going to keep functioning with many employees on leave is not clear.

Which government fell?

[martinuzz]

Depends on whether you ask me or Scriver

I don't think that the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" has ever applied to China.

I don't think that the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" has ever applied to China.

The historic name for the old Chinese Empires was "all under heaven," if that counts

Plus the CCP habit of having 1 leader, 1 country, 1 timezone means the sun would set somewhere in the megatimezone

Shit, you got me.
